GOTV Distributed Organizer

Texas Democratic Party Houston, Texas, United States

Founded in 1846, Texas Democrats continue the march towards a state as great as its promise.

A fair shot for all, that’s what drove Democrats to build this great state, and that is what drives us today. A belief that no matter who you are, what you look like, where you come from, or who you love if you work hard in Texas, you can make it.

We believe democratic government exists to achieve as a community, state, and nation what we cannot achieve as individuals.

We believe in equal opportunity, fairness, freedom, family, community, and a responsibility to ourselves and each other. These are the values our elders passed down to us, the values we hope to share with our children, and the values we expect from our elected officials.

The Texas Democratic Party is a movement of millions of Texans coming together to fight for our Texas values. We know our state cannot succeed when the deck is stacked against working Texans and their families.

The Texas Democratic Party is seeking Distributed Organizers to join our Texas Together 2026 Coordinated Campaign, supporting Talarico for Texas and Democratic candidates up and down the ballot.

Through virtual voter contact, volunteer recruitment, relational organizing, and other distributed tactics, the department turns enthusiasm across the state into sustained volunteer activity and voter turnout, while building the lasting infrastructure Texas Democrats need to win now and in the cycles ahead.
